166 HOMES & ART AUTUMN/WINTER 2016
A
n eye for design in marrying
old with new ensures that
this home best compliments
the enclave of existing buildings
around it.
The use of limestone plinth blocks to
the external walls, ornate detailing to the
feature window sills, and corbelled arch
headers sets the scene for a warm and
homely interior.
The cottage form of the building
incorporates a clever ground-floor layout
with a small studio, living room, kitchen
and dining area, formal entry, and north-
facing private courtyard with a built-in
barbecue. The grand entrance, featuring
travertine flooring, links to the upper floor
via an elegant staircase, and offers visual
connection to the living room through
glazed doors. This leads through to the
designer kitchen, adorned with a stylish
island bench dressed in Caesarstone,
classical off-white paneled cabinetry, and
Bosch stainless steel appliances. A scullery
flows on from the kitchen, providing further
space for food preparation and storage.
Continuing this neutral palette, painted
timber French doors open out to the
courtyard to establish a timeless aesthetic
reminiscent of the federation era. French
doors also make an appearance in the
dining room, used on each side to ensure
efficient breeze paths for summer cooling.
The dining room also has direct access to an
underground wine cellar.
On the upper floor, the library features
a fireplace and a wall of built-in
bookshelves, which carry over the door
for added drama. French doors lead onto
a romantic Juliet balcony overlooking the
harbour. The master bedroom is complete
with a generous dressing room, and
luxuriously appointed ensuite bathroom
with honed marble tiles, frameless shower
screens and vanity benchtops.
